Question

Stumped.

What is the distance between the origin and the point (8, -17)? If necessary, round your answer to two decimal places.

Answer 1

You can use the distance formula

\[d = \sqrt{(x2-x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2} \]

Answer 2

you have a point (8 , -17)

(0 - (-17))² = ?

so what is

√((-8²) + (-17²))

Answer 7

Answer 8

-8² = 64
-17² = 289

64 + 289 = 353
